The city is lucky enough to be home to some of the best and most iconic sporting venues in the world.

Two years ago, Glasgow won plaudits from across the globe after the success of hosting the Commonwealth Games.

Not to mention, three of the world’s most recognisable football stadiums are based in Glasgow, while other sports, such as rugby and speedway, are lucky enough to boast teams who play their home matches in Scotland’s biggest city.

Find out everything you need to know about Glasgow’s biggest sporting venues below.

What is it?Scotland’s largest stadium - with a capacity of 60,411 - and home to the Scottish Premiership champions, Celtic. In 1998, the stadium’s old terraces were demolished and it was rebuilt. Celtic Park hosted the opening ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, while it has also been used for a number of music concerts over the years, including performances by The Who and U2.

What’s the atmosphere like? Simply known to Celtic supporters as ‘Paradise’, Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi claimed Celtic Park had “the best atmosphere in Europe.” The Green Brigade, a group of Celtic ultras who sit in section 111, always make themselves heard.

And where is it? On London Road, about two miles east of Glasgow's city centre.

What is it? Home of Scotland’s most successful club, Rangers. The stadium was largely rebuilt after the Ibrox disaster in 1971, in which 66 fans were killed in a crush as they tried to leave the ground.

What’s the atmosphere like? Despite Rangers’ off-field troubles in recent years, Ibrox, which holds 50,987, is pretty much a sell-out most weeks. The Union Bears, a fans’ group who sit in the Broomloan Stand, create a lively atmosphere by singing and banging on drums for the full 90 minutes. Ibrox also boasts two JumboTron screens.

And where is it? South of the River Clyde, around three miles outside of Glasgow’s city centre.

What is it? Scotland’s National Stadium and home to the country’s oldest team, Queen’s Park. It is also regularly used to hold music concerts.

What’s the atmosphere like? The stadium's capacity exceeded 100,000 from the early 1900s until the 1980s and it was during this time the term the ‘Hampden Roar’ was born. Scotland fans would ‘roar’ to intimidate opposing teams and the fans’ cheers when their team scored could be heard for miles. Now, Hampden has a capacity of 52,063 and with a running track around the pitch, it is sometime criticised for lacking some of its previous atmosphere.

And where is it? In Mount Florida, in the heart of Glasgow’s south side.

Firhill

What is it? A former rugby stadium, it is now solely the home of Scottish Premiership side, Partick Thistle.

What’s the atmosphere like? It’s ‘Firhill for thrills’ thanks to the stadium’s three seated stands and overall capacity of 10,102. There are plans to redevelop the south stand, which is currently unused. Over the past few seasons, Thistle have been praised for their innovative ticket initiatives.

And where is it? In Maryhill, the north of Glasgow and just over a mile from Glasgow’s city centre.

Scotstoun

What is it?Glasgow Warriors, one of only two professional Scottish rugby teams, have played their home matches at Scotstoun since 2012.

What’s the atmosphere like? Surprisingly laid-back considering the competitive nature of the sport on show. The Glasgow side’s home matches are family-friendly and the adults can even enjoy a beer while they take in the action. It doesn’t boast the biggest of capacities - 9,708 - but it still manages to produce an electric atmosphere on matchdays.

And where is it? In the west of Glasgow.

Ashfield

Ashfield Stadium

What is it? Home of the Glasgow Tigers, a motorcycle speedway team who were formed in 1928. In 2014 Glasgow brothers Michael and Gerry Facenna, owners of Allied Vehicles Ltd, bought the Tigers and Ashfield Stadium. The deal also means junior football side, Ashfield, can play rent-free at the stadium.

What’s the atmosphere like? The Facenna brothers have revamped Ashfield and it has breathed new life into the club as a whole. The popularity of speedway continues to grow, meaning crowds are getting bigger and better.

And where is it? Hawthorn Street, just a couple of miles outside of Glasgow.

Hydro

What is it? Now an iconic structure on Glasgow’s skyline after it opened in 2013. With a total capacity of 12,000, The SSE Hydro hosts around 140 events every year and is one of the busiest indoor arenas in the world, alongside such iconic venues as Madison Square Garden in New York and London’s O2 arena.

What’s the atmosphere like? The Hydro hosted a number of sports during the 2014 Commonwealth Games as well as Scotland’s first-ever MMA show last year. It’s lighting and seating is ideal for holding indoor sports.

And where is it? In the heart of Glasgow, next to the River Clyde.

What is it? Named after the six-time Olympic champion, this venue opened in 2012. Known for sponsorship reasons as the Emirates Arena, The Velodrome has a 250-meter indoor track with a capacity of 2,500, which expanded to 4,500 with the introduction of temporary seating during the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Glasgow Rocks, Scotland’s only professional team, also play their home games here.

What’s the atmosphere like? Unsurprisingly, the indoor arena is ideal for basketball crowds, with fans being seated right next to the action. This stunning venue also provides the perfect opportunity to witness high-speed cycling up close and personal.

And where is it? In the east end of Glasgow, directly across from Celtic Park.
